This problem has apparently been fixed in Confluence server version but is NOT fixed in Cloud version. There was a woman named Shannon that was working on it, is there any way to contact her for a progress report? Here is the original question which was resolved for the server verson:
That particular problem was fixed before Cloud diverged away from server, over 9 years ago.
If you are seeing problems that look the same, I think it needs reporting as a new problem (yes, maybe as something that's come up again).
Could you provide more detail in the symptoms you are seeing now? As the old one was fixed, it's worth re-describing.
We are using Confluence Cloud and I make regular use of the "HTML Export" option to export a specific space into HTML format for re-publishing to clients. The links between pages and the links within a page are created in a different manner in the exported HTML files.
For the majority of the exported pages, when one page references another, the link is is arbitrarily created, sometimes with the fully qualified domain name:
<a href="https://obscuradigital.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ICDK/pages/601096282/Design+Insights"
and other times with a shorter version of the link (which works as shown on the second screenshot)
<a href="Design-Insights_601096282.html">Design Insights
The first one of course always breaks when exported to HTML, and the second works fine and goes from page to page and section to section. We are exporting these HTML files to Paligo and then creating PDF and web-based HTML files with them. We purchased Paligo because Confluence does not support PDF exports. Of course, we get these ugly bad links on the PDF files (attached) and on the HTML output.
Obviously this breaks the links in our published doc system as the link points to the public address for the Confluence system.
I cannot understand why the links are created differently in the export because within Confluence itself we are creating the links in exactly the same way . I can also provide a PDF (it won't let me upload) to show how arbitrary the links are (sometimes working sometimes not) over longer documents)
